Bayer Leverkusen star Jonathan Tah is expected to leave the Bundesliga when his contract expires at the end of the 2024/2025 season.
The Germany international is in his tenth season at the BayArena and played a crucial role in their first ever Bundesliga title win in 2023/24.
However, as talks on a possible extension fail to make progress, exit options have emerged across Europe.
The latest update indicates that Barcelona are the frontrunners to complete a free transfer for the 28-year-old, with negotiations set to begin in January.
Barcelona will not be without opposition in their interest in Tah, but a move for the experienced defender fits their transfer profile of being cost-effective and versatile.
Despite growing sentiment that Tah has already made up his mind, Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso has taken steps to dampen speculation, confirming that no decision has been made at this stage.
“We are happy to have Tah with us this season. I am not worried about the situation at the moment,” said quotes from Marca.
“We are happy that Jona is with us. His attitude is top class, he has a big influence on our game. We need him until the last day. Then we will see what happens in the future. ”
Tah still has a contract worth €30 million, which Bayern Munich refused to pay in the summer.
